MILK-STOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 422,023, dated February25, 1890.

Application filed November 5, 1889. Serial No. 329,291. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDMUND E. KINNEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Bloomdale, in the county of Wood and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Milk-Stools; and I dodeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to theletters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

The invention relates to milking stools which contain a seat for themilker and also for the pail.

The invention will first be described in connection with the drawings,and then pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1.01". the drawings is an elevation in perspective, and Fig. 2 anelevation partly in section.

In the drawings, A represents the stool with the curved front opening a,the legs a, and the cross-piece 6L2 between the two front legs. In thelatter works the screw B, whose smooth upper end is first passed throughthe center of the pail-support O and then upset, soas to leave thesupport loosely swiveled between the head and thread, the latter beingraised higher than the surface of the neck 6. By this means the mouth ofthe pail with the support may be turned toward the cow when she is beingmilked. The support 0 is also adjustable in altitude to suit the heightof different pails.

D is an arc-shaped plate flush with and extending beyond the wall of theopening a on both sides of the stool, so as to hold a given size ofpail; but when a smaller pail is used I employ the clamp E, which isturned against the pail to hold it in place, and there held by theclamp-screw F.

H H are opposite cavities in the sides of the stool, and between themthe mi-lker is expected to sit.

K is a cord knotted at kto catch in a nick d of the plate D, while theother end of the cord is provided with a nicked plate L, where it isalso caught to clamp the cows tail. This device allows the cow to switchher tail, but not sufficiently to reach the face of the milker.

Having thus described all that is necessary to a full understanding ofmy invention, what I claim as new, and desire to protectby LettersPatent, is

The stool A, having the curved front opening a, are plate D, legs a, andcross-piece a the screw B, working in said cross-piece and carrying atits upper end on a neck thereof the loosely-jointed pail-support C, theareshaped plate E, pivoted to the plate D, carrying the clamp F, hingedto one end thereof and provided with a clamping-screw G, all combinedand arranged as shown and described, for the purposes specified.

I11 testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

EDMUND E. KINNEY.
